The Goodson Law Library underwent renovation during the summer and fall of 2012 in order to create new space for eight of Duke Law School’s student-edited journals in the former study carrel area at the back of Level 1. As part of this project, which began in the summer, additional study carrel space were created in the rear of Level 4, and library alcoves on Levels 2 and 3 were updated in order to offer additional collaborative study space throughout the building.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this renovation, and appreciate your patience during this project to improve library facilities.
